"MOTHERS Naturally Black". Been using it for about 2 years now.......... BRILLIANT.

Recommended to others and they've had the same results.

ALSO: If your mufflers are turning Gold and you like them Silver (as I do), get some "Bar Keepers Friend",
dab it on, leave for ONE minute and wipe off (then rinse off excess). It's that simple, ask others who've used it.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH PRODUCTS


Happy riding,

I agree with all of the above - they are really good - Buuuuuuuuuut - I have found and used that which I beleive to be better :
"FOREVER" Product
"Forever Black" - It returns to black by "staining" the faded to grey colouring -
Check their website:

www.forevercarcareproducts.com

Once applied it then requires very little additional application - simply kept clean - minor touch up

PS .. Forgot to mention - available at Super Cheap Auto - elsewhere unknown

Mothers Naturally Black.   :thumb 
Is Bar Keepers Friend also available at Supercheap ? If it's that easy to use I'll give it a bash.
Getting wind in my hair while I still have some.

No. You'd be better off trying a home wears type of shop. I had a hell of a job finding it and finally did at 'Kitchen Wearhouse'.

Good luck,
